Marketing Manager I - Corporate Partnerships Operations

Corporate Partnerships Operations Manager

This is a high-trust, hands-on operations role serving as the right-hand to the Corporate Partnerships Director across two professional sports franchises — one NBA and one NHL. The Corporate Partnerships Operations Manager is responsible for translating strategic direction into day-to-day execution — owning scheduling, logistics, stakeholder communication, partnership activation, and fulfillment across both teams. This individual ensures that sponsorship deliverables, hospitality, game-day operations, and community events run seamlessly, consistently, and on time. The Corporate Partnerships Operations Manager works closely with other caregivers to help create and implement marketing projects and campaigns for products, services and programs offered by Intermountain Health. This leader works closely and collaboratively with other marketing and communication professionals within Intermountain Health to help achieve local, regional, and system-wide marketing objectives.

The selected candidate must currently reside or be willing to relocate to Utah to support the in-person requirements of this role. Must be located within a practical commuting distance of Salt Lake City to support on-site game day executions, partnership activation, and operational coordination across multiple venues. The role is a full-time, Monday through Friday position, structured as a 40-hour salaried work week. While standard hours will typically fall within regular business times, the position does require flexibility. The selected candidate should be prepared for potential evenings and weekend coverage, as well as periodic travel, depending on operational needs.

• Sports operations, events, partnerships, or comparable high-volume environments.
• Comfort managing complex scheduling, logistics, and live events

Essential Functions

• Day-to-Day Partnership Operations (e.g., scheduling, logistics, communication, and follow-through across sponsorship fulfillment, hospitality, events, and game-day execution for two franchises).
• Execution & Activation Support (e.g., turn partnership concepts into clear plans, timelines, and deliverables, ensuring ideas come to life consistently across seasons, venues, and platforms).
• Cross-Functional Coordination (e.g., partner closely with internal departments, venue operations teams, and external vendors to deliver seamless partner and fan experiences).
• Issue Anticipation & Resolution (e.g., proactively identify risks, bottlenecks, and gaps; bring forward practical, solution-oriented recommendations before issues escalate).
• Season Planning & Sustainability (e.g., build repeatable rhythms, checklists, and systems that sustain peak performance across long, high-volume seasons).
• Stakeholder Communication (e.g., serve as a clear, calm point of contact for internal leaders, partners, and vendors; prepare concise briefings, updates, and post-season recaps).
